More Information
Summary:The exemplary embodiments of the invention provide in one aspect thereof an apparatus that includes a controller configurable with a radio frequency receiver. The controller is further configurable to monitor downlink signal quality of a user equipment. The controller is further configurable to compare the downlink signal quality to a threshold value and, if the downlink signal quality is less that the threshold value, to switch operation of the user equipment from a full duplex frequency division duplex mode of operation to a half duplex frequency division duplex mode of operation. The exemplary embodiments may be realized at one or both of the user equipment or a base station. The result of switching operation of the user equipment results in an increase in user equipment receiver sensitivity.
